. The affect of weather really depends on the material that the building, gravestone or monument is made of. Gravestones used to be made out of concrete and due to weathering some of the inscriptions became unreadable. Our company provides gravestones and memorials that are made of marble and granite which are more weather resistant. This type of material will keep the inscriptions in tact so that they will serve as a memorial for centuries.

How does the weather affect our monuments?
Despite efforts to seal, cover, or otherwise protect rock based monuments from weathering and erosion will ultimately be futile in geologic terms. Whole mountain ranges have been flattened over time by natural forces, and eventually manmade monuments will suffer the same fate.
What Examples of structures that contain gaps to prevent them buckling in hot weather?
Structures like bridges often incorporate expansion joints to accommodate thermal expansion and prevent buckling in hot weather. Buildings may include control joints in their walls and pavements to allow for movement without compromising structural integrity. Additionally, some railway tracks are designed with gaps to allow for expansion, ensuring safety and functionality during temperature fluctuations.
Where should an anemometer be located?
An anemometer should be located in an open area, away from obstructions that could disrupt the flow of air such as buildings, trees, or other structures. It should be mounted at a height that reflects the conditions for which wind data is being collected, typically 30 feet above the ground for general weather monitoring.
Why was sandstone used to make gravestones?
Sandstone used to be commonly used for gravestones because it is easy to carve and make custom shapes. Over time, it was found that it does weather a lot worse than more solid stones like marble or granite.

In the past, gravestones were made out materials (like concrete and sometimes even wood) that are subject to deterioration caused by weather. Now, most gravestones are made from marble or granite. We chose these two materials for our line of gravestones because the materials are durable and fairly weather-resistant. The inscriptions made on the stone will survive the weather and last as a memorial for centuries.
What is happenind to limestone buildings and satues?
They start to weather away. Acid rain is a huge contributor to the weathering of Limestone structures.
What happens to gravestones after years?
Hi there. Some ancient gravestones have weathered so much that you can't read the inscriptions; however, it has been found that marble or granite gravestones hold up to the weather making inscriptions readable for centuries which is why we use these materials in creating bespoke memorials that last. Concrete gravestones are more susceptible to damage. Many ancient gravestones that survived are actually displayed in museums and many still stand on the gravesite.

Advantage: Weathering breaks down rocks and minerals into smaller particles, helping to form soil and nutrients essential for plant growth. Disadvantage: Weathering can also cause erosion and deterioration of structures and monuments, leading to potential damage and loss of cultural heritage.
